RYKER
That didn't go how I fucking planned and I need to fix it.
I was halfway down the corridor when Nia stepped out of nowhere and planted herself directly in my path with her arms crossed and her chin up, and I knew whatever she was going to say she had rehearsed this conversation twice already.
And I was going to be pissed by it.
I stopped and looked at her, "Move, Nia."
"Whatever game you are playing with Amaris," she said, her voice low and pointed, "drop it, Ryker. She is not a toy to mess with."
I stared at her for a moment, keeping my expression neutral but behind my eyes I was puzzled, "Who told you I was playing any game?"
"Does it matter?"
"It does to me," I said, my voice dropping, "Was it Amaris?"
Nia held my gaze, "Cole saw her coming out of your room."
I exhaled through my nose.
That snitch and sure he must have blurted out to Nia while she shared his bed.
